For fun or for money?
Why do you play poker?

For me, poker is a hobby and I actually play for fun. But of course, I have a dream and I hope that the time will come when I can make money from the game.

I play for fun but of course i am happy when i win some money also. If you ask if i hope to get rich from poker - well i think that everybody who plays poker dreams to win big tournament and big cash but for now i am fully aware that i don't have the skills for more than winning few $ here and there at micro stakes. I try to improve my game so we will see what will happen in future but being poker pro is definitely not something that i am chasing at least for now.

You can earn money in poker. But for this purpose it is necessary to play a lot monotonously without emotions. Very much. Accordingly, all the charm of the game will disappear and turn into a routine.
So choose pleasure or money. Personally, I choose pleasure. I don't play often, but I play productively. But I know for sure that I won 't get bored.

I try to take it seriously because I don't like to lose anything. But of course I have fun playing, I don't play big amounts of money.

Many people play poker for fun ... however they also hope to win some prize money ... as well as others who hope to become a professional poker and live poker ...!

Hello.
Of course, I hope that in the future I will be able to make money playing poker. But for the time being I am just improving my skills, gaining experience and enjoying my game.

To be honest, i lost my hope for an any good big win in online poker. I lost many years in tryes, and every time soft killing me again and again in good situatuions. After that it,s hard to control yourself and not going to tilt, becaues you understand, that was doing everything right, but soft continue to destroy you again and again...

I do hope i will score big one day. Still deep inside i know it will never happen...

I had such thoughts several times but reality showed me that I need to focus on poker as a hobby and to have fun from time to time.
I hope one day I will have luck and win more than $68.

I hope that I can make in poker. Not millions, but still

If you don't already make money with poker do you hope to someday?

Just for the money. Poker does not bring me pleasure.

I love poker,,, and if i can win a few $$$ every week,all the better.

I win, but I'm evolving to win even more

Money is just a way to keep score. While at the tables money should not have any value to you should focus on making the best decisions. This is the mindset you must adopt to be successful. The money will come if you are successful.

For me poker is a hobby and I play for fun, earned funds are the bonus

How much do people manage to regularly earn on here? A few hundred dollars a month would be awesome.

in the limits I play I can make money, I never had a huge big hit but I always reach some straight and final tables

I still hope to make money on poker. But if this year I don’t have any positive dynamics, I will quit playing online poker.

Do I make money on poker, yes, enough to live on no. Only because I play mostly for fun. But I am starting to play a little more serious, so we will see what happens.

We all play for making money, i dont think is any other motivation..

The thing is if we play for fun or to live, in the past i used to play for living , now i try to come back to that

making poker is a new level, not everyone can and not everyone wants to switch to it

How can you have fun if you are being cheated? I play just like that . I have a contract with Poker Stars.

I play for fun and to try to make some money, i think poker is not worth playing if you dont have fun with it.

I play for fun, but when you win money in poker, it's even more fun

I play it for fun and it also feels good to win money too haha. I play poker because it is such a challenging game and it is good for the mind to think about if your hand is good enough or knowing what other players probably have.
